Was it originally a column shift or floor shift column? I don't mean to be insulting, but I have seen many a column shift column "converted" to a floor shift design column. Maybe you can post a few pictures?

Thanks,
Bill

Bill,

Out of curiosity what is the difference? All have the column lever for the reverse lockout in 69 right?

Jason,

Yes they both have the reverse lock out lever, but a column shift tilt column would have a gear shift lever equipt shift bowl, and a floor shift column would have a smooth shift bowl with out the lever.

Many times a column shift bowl will be ground off and smoothed over to look like a floor shift unit. I have seen this many times with the very rare 1967 only Chevelle tilt columns.
